I read the reviews so I was leary on purchasing, especially about the door, and uneven cooking. From when we received it the door never opened and closed correctly without having to adjust it into place... not a big deal, we loved the air fryer my kids loved it, and used it daily. The cooking is very uneven if you have more than one tray, so they have to be rotated regularly during cooking. If it’s only one tray then it’s fine. Then one day it just shut off and never turned on again after 3 months. There was power, there was a light, but the panel didn’t light up and it was not able to be fixed. Due to our stay at home orders I couldn’t replace it, and I have worked it out so I have to purchase another one. Disappointing because we really did enjoy it quite it was working despite the quirks. What I don’t understand is if everyone is having the same issues why isn’t Insignia fixing them?
First time trying to air fry an entire chicken and, even though this wasn't an enormous chicken, it wasn't a cornish hen either. There is no way the chicken would have been able to turn in the oven. Very disappointed.
Since I’ve gotten my oven, I use it at least 4 - 5 times a week. It cooks perfectly, I’ve used the rotisserie and the chicken was fully cooked within an hour!
My husband calls it my Easy Bake oven and it truly is that...easy to use and easy to clean!
Comparable air fryer ovens on Amazon have a rotisserie basket. I wish this one did.
When cooking food on the oven racks, you have to switch the oven racks so food cooks equally. If you use the pre-set timer, the food on the top rack will burn while the food on the lower rack will not cook enough. So - keep an eye on it.
I really love the rotisserie. I've made chicken shawarma on this a few times and it's great. However, it does take a long time to cook and you have to shave off the cooked meat so that the meat inside cooks. No matter what you cook on the rotisserie, you'll need to watch for that.
If you close the door and the SCREEN STILL BLACK, simply hit the top of the screen to make screen work properly. I didn't hear mine goes *beep* when i plug-in to day, the issue was the Screen cannot recognize if the door is closing or opening. After few efforts, I got angry and hit the top of the screen and it hella work. Hope ya'll make it work too.
Excellent product. Allows you to cook multiple things at the same time. It is best to rotate the trays and turn the food for best results. Food cooks in half the time and it's almost like a real deep fryer but we healthier. Push down on door when closing as it does pick up a bit and won't close if you don't.
